This game is awesome. The Power Shots are fun, they're kinda overpowered but not as much as the gimmicks introduced in later Mario Tennis titles. You can consistently and effectively counter any of them with any character, it's just difficult to do so. Likewise, the Gimmick Courts are a lot of fun and spice up the game without becoming too overbearing or obnoxious. If you dont like the Power Shots or Gimmicks, you can turn those off in multiplayer matches. There aren't as many characters or courts as there were in the N64 game, but there's greater mechanical and visual variety among the ones included here. And of course, Motoi Sakuraba returns with another great soundtrack.

My only complaint... I wish you could play the CPU doubles tournaments with a friend. Or even a full 16-player tournament mode like in the Smash games, where you hand off controllers to the next players.
